New Zealander Patrick Cahill describes how he was recently rescued following an accident on a hunting trip.

“My Queens birthday hunting expedition took a serious turn when catching my foot on a rock resulted in a tumble which dislocated my knee.  While not in immediate danger this injury left me unable to walk, especially taking into account the rough terrain and the distance from our car.  After assessing our situation my hunting mate and I decided the only course of action was to activate my McMurdo FastFind 211 PLB.
